Description
Summary:Last year's similarly formatted Pahmar, a hardcover omnibus of Gilbert Hernandez's stories (he's [Jaime Hernandez]'s brother) from Love and Rockets, sold out its first printing of about 10,000 copies within a couple of months (a second printing is due this month). Fantagraphics expects that [Locas] may do even better. "Jaime is probably the preeminent cartoonist of his generation, just in terms of the sheer skill and beauty of the work," said Fantagraphics's Kim Thompson.
